What Stores In Sacramento Double Coupons

(05/02/2011) Samel (2,222 m) - East or Andara Massif - Picos de Europa - X-Country

For finnnn ... first outing with the tables. Again

visit to Eastern Massif, which lately is busy enough but a few years ago. In fact, today, between the snowpack and the amount of vehicles, the parking of Escarandi Jitu (between Sotres and Tresviso) is "petado."

But that's the scoop "Bellota" indispensable gadget outlets this winter to improvise when a parking space.

Once the hole to put the van plays the "encofrao" and "orthopedics" as so called our friend Juanlu this material crossing.

Once these hard tasks
must regain your strength before you start: Alvaro
chopping and famous and travel the energy bar of "The Edge of the Impresentable"

Now if we can start now.

A map of the ascension (click on image to enlarge):

First Steps of the group on the snowy path leading to the coffered Andara.

has left a splendid day.

The climb to the refuge takes time but as punishment is not over stretched.

Reaching the hut at the foot of the wall of Mancondiu.

Pinta miners but not so with this we pose the truth that seem good.

Above shelter
good start rolling hills.

Arriving at Trasmancondiu Collada.

Once on the hill and we can look beyond the bottom in order of the day: the top of Samelar.

Down the Horcada ...

... and advancing on the valley floor.

And little by little it begins to gain altitude.

Silvia and Luis giving to the "z" with the beautiful skyline beyond Mancondiu peak in the background.

too hot, this ultomo section is 500 meters of altitude without a break and everyone is catching pace and climb as best they can.

stop to regain breath as we watch the rise that we are "eating" and the beautiful panorama that is behind us.

A few minutes from the top are more and more rocks and less snow, which the majority (excluding of course the "Iman" Luison that MUST make them top posts and Anderson and Sergio leading rackets) decided to remove the tables and make this last leg on foot. Views

to the Sacred Heart or Pico San Carlos and with an arrow pointed to the spot where some wanted to ski down: the Canal de San Carlos. Doing so would have crossed the Eastern Massif going to end up in the Valle de Liebana.

But during this stop to remove skis comes to visit "the man of the deck" in the form of sudden vomiting, which momentarily clears my mind the idea of \u200b\u200btop and much less to ski the channel.

few minutes of rest, a couple of swearing, a bit of stubbornness and ... to finish what I came to do:

finally "met challenge" I would say that of Leon: top of Samelar (2,222 m).

worth suffering ... is more than clear.

take the time to recover to finish top as I watch as the rest of the group says "up to the eyebrows" of eating and drinking (as fuck just to look at the time ....).

Well, time to go: desncenso far as we let the skis, put the tables and now if:
to disfrutaaaaaaarrr!!

"Mother, as I left the alfombraaaaaa YOU ARE ......"

Here is to be careful that there is enough stone.

And we enjoy the beautiful fall.

Now we have to put skins to climb up the hill Trasmancondiu. (Pico Mancondiu: top right)

remove
Paradita fur seals.

And come, to go down.

Skiing blade that is on the wall pied Mancondiu take us a. ...

... the door of the shelter of the Andara caissons, which in its origins was a shack that served as housing for miners working in the mines in this area.

Leaving the shelter to take the snow path ..

And now the whole track skiing, places to go slow ...

....
areas to get some speed ...

... and places to fly "?.

Joseto moments after falling for this cut of about three meters ... so apparently inexplicable.

All in a small-scare and replenishes while we said that was due to pains in his leg which did not allow him to make that turn and that has flown away. We

down.
